shalannaThere is much wrong with a world in which these can be the "top headlines" and the Most Popular Stories.
Teacher Mistakes Boy's Insulin Pump For Phone, Rips It Out
Dog Eats Woman's $6,000 Ring
Snake Swallows 6-Foot Alligator
Woman Repeatedly Rams Motor Home Into Mini Mart
Man Arrested After Smacking Hindquarters Of Police Horses
Police: Man Molests Girls, Films 5-Year-Old In Adult Panties (TOO MUCH INFORMATION)
Storms Could Be Hurting Florida's Tourism Idustry (DUH!!!!)
Okay, the snake swallowing the alligator . . . that's kind of cool, depending on whose pet the alligator is. I'm picturing them both walking their pets, meeting up at a corner. . . . And the dog eating the ring, that's going to be fun when you get to watch this woman following the dog around with a net whenever he goes "walkies" to catch all that poop so she can retreive her emeralds or whatever. I hope diamonds really are forever.*
*(That wasn't what happened in either case. It was just amusing to imagine.)
But what kind of idiot doesn't wait to ask if that's an INSULIN PUMP instead of a CELL PHONE beeping in class . . . *facepalm*
My friend has an insulin pump. She became a brittle diabetic after having gestational diabetes with all three of her children, and now she has to really monitor herself, even with the pump. It's pretty obvious that the pump, though rectangular and electronic, ain't a cell phone. At least to me. And it's installed with a tube into a blood vessel, kids. So far, most cell phones are not attached by wires directly to the so-called "ear."
Ouch. Just . . . yowtch!
You see what lengths I must go to while trying not to chew my nails to the cuticle while fretting over my cousin. . . .
